From: James Muldoon
15 February 2010
Dear Enfield Council,
(1) Please provide the number of FOI Requests received each month
by the council for calendar year 2009 and January 2010, and the
overall total.
(2) Please confirm whether it is council policy to acknowledge all
FOI Requests, and how quickly.
If it is, provide the % which met that target in each month and
overall.
If not, explain how the council considers this complies with ICO
guidance and the council's duties under the Act, in particular §16
to be helpful.
(3) For each month and the whole period, include how many received
the council's response
(a) within 15wd,
(b) in 16-20 wd,
(c) after 20wd,
and (d) any still awaiting response.
(4) Include also how many were met
(a) in full,
(b) partly,
(c) rejected, with a note of the numbers for each reason for
rejection - not held, too costly, fees notices etc.
(5) Include how many were referred to Internal Review, how long
these took as per (3) above, and the outcome
(6) Lastly for each month and total, include the number of requests
that had ICO involvement, distinguishing between numbers where the
ICO asked the council to respond due to delay by the council, or
where the ICO made a ruling after the council process was
exhausted.
Itemise each of these presumably very few cases individually with
full dates and outcome.
Please provide this electronically, preferably in an XLS
spreadsheet.
Yours faithfully,
James Muldoon
Enfield Council

Dear Enfield Council,
I note that the 20 working day deadline has passed without any
response being provided to my FOI Request.
This is very disappointing.
The Request was a straight forward one, and I see no reason why the
council could not provider its response within the statutory limit
of 20wd.
Please give an indication of a date by when the council expects to
provide its reply - as otherwise a reference to the ICO will become
necessary.
Yours sincerely,
James Muldoon

Dear Enfield Council,
Under the FOI Act, you are required to respond promptly, and in any
event within 20wd.
I note your system problem, but the breach of the Act remains.
In these circumstances, I say you should now reply within 10
working days of 16-3-10, to what should be a simple request.
Yours faithfully,
James Muldoon

Dear Enfield Council,
Thank you for your informative reply.
I have had to record this as "some only" provided because I did
originally ask for Jan 2010 data, as well as the whole of 2009.
